“Latin America could be 15 million jobs better off by 2030 in a zero emissions economy, a new IDB and ILO report has found
The transition to a net-zero emission economy could lead to 15 million more jobs in Latin America and the Caribbean by 2030, according to a new report by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) that also called for a sustainable and inclusive economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.22.5million
